What is the “Gold Standard” surgery for BPH?
Historically, TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) has been the gold standard. However, advanced laser enucleation procedures like HoLEP are increasingly considered the new standard, especially for very large prostates, due to their lower bleeding risk and permanent results.

Can BPH be cured without surgery?
BPH is a progressive condition, meaning it cannot be completely “cured” with medication, but symptoms can be highly managed. Alpha-blockers (like Tamsulosin) relax the prostate muscles for fast symptom relief, while 5-ARIs (like Finasteride) can actually shrink the prostate gland over several months of use.
